    Cheese pull! Get the House Pizza.
    C B.

    The feeling of dread I had when we pulled into the parking lot, which was crazy full. And then I sunk further when I saw all the bar food on the menu. We were exhausted and road weary and I wanted something comforting and tasty. Noooooo. I reluctantly agreed with the pizza choice my family made but I knew it was going to be lousy.... Except. It was FAST and OUTSTANDING. Lick-your-fingers outstanding. The sausage tastes local or homemade, oddly authentic for northern Minnesota. The cheese pull. The fresh veggies. Why didn't we order a larger one?? The troubles of the day just melted away and we left happy with full bellies... and suddenly the full parking lot made sense.

    Excellent burgers & pizza - 4 stars!…read more FYI, it's called "Riley's Cannibal Junction", NOT "Riley's Fine Food & Drink". Don't judge a book by its cover. That's the first thing I have to say about this hole-in-the-wall bar & restaurant. When you find them, it feels like the middle of nowhere because there are no houses, cabins, or other businesses in sight. This is a totally casual, no-frills place with a hunting and fishing cabin type of vibe. Come as you are. Are you still wearing your hunting camo or your snowmobile suit? No problem. The burgers, pizzas, and soups are very good. The all-beef patties are the real deal. No soybean additives here. The owner makes an extra effort to get a higher grade ground beef. You can definitely taste the difference. The staff is very friendly and unpretentious. And the prices are remarkably reasonable (see photo). If you're interested in the history, they have a summary on the back of the menu and on the Facebook page. It all goes back to the 1950s and an eccentric husband & wife named Chester & Violet Guiles. The local kids started calling Chester "Cannibal Guiles". Once a week they'd go to Deer River to buy groceries in a horse drawn buckboard. One final note: I read a silly previous review accusing this place of being "disgustingly racist". I saw no evidence of racism whatsoever. In fact, there was a Native American gentleman cooking on the day I visited. I complimented him on the burgers and we had a nice chat. He's a nice dude. I don't know what kind of personal beef was going on at some point in the past, but this review is pretty bad...the worst type of ignorant, woke, race baiting & trolling with no evidence at all. Don't like 'em? Don't go there. This stupid review should really be removed or sidelined by Yelp. Anyway, enough time wasted on that topic... Stop by if you're in the area. Grab a brew and some grub. Thumbs up! -Maxx

    100% wonderful service from the friendly staff at Cannibal Junction. The food was good and we…read moreenjoyed dinner out. Rustic up north ambiance.
